Moon Swim

With tea and a blanket I slipped out in the night

no lantern was needed, the sky was my light

as i walked with my bare feet hugging the ground

the soft brush of grass was the worlds only sound

with a small smile on my face and a confidant stride

i knew exactly where to go with the stars as my guide

i climbed under each fence and over each hill

i had already gone far, but went farther on still

when i finally reached it i stopped where i stood

i sat down my tea and i lowered my hood

the motionless lake reflected the night sky

while tall silent pine trees stood watch nearby

i took off my sweater and sang a sweet tune

then i dove in the water, and i swam with the moon
